In the video, a crown-wearing Trump is in a fighter jet emblazoned King Trump.

As Logan sings, the plane dumps sludgy brown material over crowds of protesters carrying American flags and signs.

The video was posted after Saturday's widespread No Kings protests.

In a statement to NPR, Loggins wrote, quote, Nobody asked me for my permission, which I would have denied, and I request that my recording on this video is removed immediately.

He also lamented the country's current deep divisions.

NPR reached out to the White House for comment.

In reply, the White House sent NPR an image from Top Gun of stars Tom Cruise and the late Val Kilmer, captioned, I feel the need for speed.
